Default Anybody replace their dash lights with LEDS?

I have the whole dash out and I'm looking for a better system to light the dash and center gauges. I've found some replacement LEDS but the have the plastic base for later model dashes and I've only found them in amber.

Any ideas would be appreciated. The LS1 is in and I'm starting to put things back together.

I had a reply on another board from a guy who is making up a harness to replace the factory one with an LED friendly one. I'll keep everyone posted.
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.
